READING COMPREHENSION

a) Read the text ‘What is Monarchy?’

What is Monarchy?

In a monarchy the head of state, the nation’s representative-in-chief, inherits that position from her or his parents and is entitled to hold it until death. The people have no say in who should represent them.

Supporters of monarchy at one time based the monarch’s claim to power on “divine right.” They said that the privilege was given by God. The increasing power of the middle class and the development of democratic ideas brought about a gradual reduction in royal power.

In Britain we now have a “constitutional monarchy” in which the monarch acknowledges the rights of the legislature and the executive branch of government. The Windsor family has put about the idea that they will “go quietly” when the British people ask. However, members of the family are said to believe that their family does have a unique right to their status. They act as if determined to hold on to their hereditary privileges.

There are 45 countries besides Britain that still have a monarchy. Sixteen of them, all members of the Commonwealth, have Britain’s queen Windsor as head of state. They are Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, St. Christopher & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu.

Other countries which still have monarchies include the Netherlands, Morocco, Norway, Sweden, Japan, Denmark and Belgium. Liechtenstein has an absolute monarch by the name of Hans-Adam. In 1999 he was found by the European Court of Human Rights to have suppressed freedom of expression in his principality.

Britain’s head of state is known as the queen if a woman and the king if a man. Only members of the Windsor family are eligible to be head of state.

The British people have never had the chance to vote for or against a monarchy. Unlike countries which have a written constitution, much of our system of government has been inherited from an undemocratic past. Although Parliament might vote to abolish the monarchy, under the Treason Felony Act 1848 it is treason if “any person whatsoever, within the United Kingdom or without devise or intend to deprive our most gracious Lady the Queen from the style, honor or Royal Name of the Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom.” Many monarchists argue that advocating republican democracy is therefore seditious and illegal.

 

b) To show that you understand the main points of the text, answer the following questions in writing. Give as laconic answers as possible.

1) Do people take part in choosing head of state in a monarchy?

2) What brought about a gradual reduction in royal power?

3) What does “constitutional monarchy” mean?

4) How many countries besides Britain have Britain’s Queen as head of state?

5) Who can become a monarch in Britain?

6) Why do many monarchists argue that advocating republican democracy is seditious and illegal?

 

c) Translate the marked passage of the text into Russian in writing.
